The Default tab provides configuration for the Global scope, meaning it applies to all deployment system-wide.  One or more of these options may be selected.

  • Require Change Ticket for Deployment - When submitting deployment requests, a user is required to specify a valid ServiceNow Change Ticket number.
  • Create Change Ticket on Deployment - When a deployment request is submitted, a Change Ticket is automatically created within ServiceNow.
  • Create Incident on Deployment Failure - Whenever a deployment request fails, an Incident will automatically be created within ServiceNow.

...

The Environment Configuration tab allows configuration by environment.  Click the Add button to add a new configuration, and select an environment.  This overrides any configuration on the Default tab for the selected environment.
